頌讚 神的作為

詩歌一首,交給詩班長。

66 全地的居民哪!

你們應當向 神歡呼(本節在《馬索拉文本》包括細字標題)。

你們要歌頌他名的榮耀,

把榮耀和讚美都歸給他。

要對 神說:“你的作為多麼可畏!

因你偉大的能力,你的仇敵必向你假意歸順。

全地的居民都必敬拜你,

向你歌頌,

歌頌你的名。”(細拉)

你們來看 神的作為,

他向世人所作的事是可畏懼的。

他把海變為乾地,

眾人就步行過河,

我們要在那裡因他歡喜。

他以自己的權能永遠統管萬有,

他的眼睛鑒察萬國,

悖逆的人不可自高。(細拉)

萬民哪!你們要稱頌我們的 神,

宣揚讚美他的聲音。

他保全我們的性命,

不使我們的腳動搖。

10  神啊!你試煉了我們,

熬煉了我們,如同熬煉銀子一般。

11 你使我們進入網羅,

把重擔放在我們的背上。

12 你使人駕車軋我們的頭,

我們經過水火,

你卻把我們領到豐盛之地。

13 我要帶著燔祭進你的殿,

我要向你還我的願,

14 就是在急難的時候,

我嘴唇所許的,我口裡所說的。

15 我要把肥美的牲畜作燔祭,

連同公綿羊的馨香祭獻給你,

我並且要把公牛和公山羊獻上。(細拉)

16 所有敬畏 神的人哪!

你們都要來聽,

我要述說他為我所行的事。

17 我曾用口向他呼求,

我曾用舌頭頌讚他。

18 如果我心裡偏向罪孽,

主必不聽;

19  神卻垂聽了,

他留心聽了我禱告的聲音。

20  神是應當稱頌的,

他沒有拒絕我的禱告,

也沒有使他的慈愛離開我。

Psalm 66

To the chief Musician, A Song or Psalm.

Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:

Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.

Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.

All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.

Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.

He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:

Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.

10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

11 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.

12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,

14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.

16 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.

18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

19 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

To the Director: A song. A Psalm.

A Song of Praise

66 Shout praise to God all the earth!
Sing praise about the glory of his name.[a]
    Make his praise glorious.
Say to God: “How awesome are your works!
    Because of your great strength
        your enemies cringe before you.”
The whole earth worships you.
    They sing praise to you.
        They sing praise to your name.
Interlude

Come and see the awesome works of God
    on behalf of human beings:
He turned the sea into dry land.
    Israel[b] crossed the river on foot;
        let us rejoice in him.
He rules by his power forever,
    his eyes watching over the nations.
        Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves.
Interlude

Bless our God, people,
    and let the sound of his praise be heard.
He gives us life
    and does not permit our feet to slip.
10 For you, God, tested us,
    to purify us like fine silver.
11 You have led us into a trap[c]
    and set burdens on our backs.
12 You caused men to ride over us.[d]
    You brought us through fire and water,
        but you led us to abundance.

13 I will come to your house with burnt offerings.
    I will fulfill my vows to you
14 that my lips uttered and that my mouth spoke
    when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat,
    along with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams.
        I will offer bulls along with goats.
Interlude

16 Come and listen, all of you who fear God,
    and I will tell you what he did for me.
17 I called aloud to him
    and praised him with my tongue.
18 Were I to cherish iniquity in my heart,
    the Lord would not listen to me.
19 Surely God has heard,
    and he paid attention to my[e] prayers.
20 Blessed be God, who did not turn away my prayers
    nor his gracious love from me.

    he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

20 Blessed be God,
    because he has not rejected my prayer
    or removed his steadfast love from me!
